Bedfordshire town in which fictional aviator has to paddle (11)
I believe the answer is:
biggleswade
'bedfordshire town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'fictional aviator has to paddle' is the wordplay.
'fictional aviator has' becomes 'biggles' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to paddle' becomes 'wade' (I've seen this before).
'biggles'+'wade'='BIGGLESWADE'
'in which' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for biggleswade that I've seen is " Bedfordshire town".)
